[Verse 1 - Male tenor vocal]
What a tragedy is man,
With his feet planted in mud,
His eyes fixed the heavens,
His heart yearning to fly.
[Verse 2 - female vocal]
How sad is a good life,
Full of wondrous memories,
But then a light goes out,
And they fade into black.
[Chorus - male and female vocal]
Our rise may yet come,
Once our race is done.
[Verse 3 - male tenor voice]
How cruel is our hope,
That like a mirage,
Dissolves in the dawn,
Of reality.
[Verse 4 - female vocal]
How unfair a destiny,
That rewards the evil,
And leaves the purest souls,
In eternal darkness.
[Chorus - male and female vocals]
Our rise may yet come,
Once our race is done.
[Bridge]
[Verse 5 - Male tenor vocals]
Yet embers do remain,
In the cooling ashes,
For a Phoenix to rise,
Free at last from his chains.
[Outr – male and female vocals, breathy, emotive]
Our rise may yet come,
Once our race is done.
